Jeremiah 18:18-20 Then said they,––Come ye, and let us devise against Jeremiah devices, For, the law, shall not perish, from the priest, Nor, counsel, from, the wise, Nor, the word, from, the prophet: Come and let as smite him with the tongue, And let us not give ear to any of his words!

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ Then said they,––Come ye, and let us devise against Jeremiah devices, For, the law, shall not perish, from the priest, Nor, counsel, from, the wise, Nor, the word, from, the prophet: Come and let as smite him with the tongue, And let us not give ear to any of his words! ¹⁹ Give thou ear, O Yahweh unto me,––And hearken unto the voice of mine accusers. ²⁰ Shall, evil, be recompensed, for, good? For they have digged a pit for my life,––Remember how I stood before thee, To speak, in their behalf, what was good! To turn back thine indignation from them.
